Source Global is a climate startup that uses hydropanels to produce clean water out of the air. It’s backed by Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
A year later, he turned the science into Source Global. The start-up's panels cost about $2,000 a piece.
"We take sunlight and air and we can produce perfect drinking water essentially anywhere on the planet," Friesen said."And so we take water that has historically been probably humanity's greatest challenge and turn it into a renewable resource that is perfect essentially everywhere." Source's hydropanels take in water vapor from the air and pack it into a form that's about 10,000 times more concentrated than in the atmosphere. Using the warmth of the sun, the system converts the molecules into liquid water, which is collected in a reservoir inside the panel and then released as pure water.
